Walk across a well-designed pool deck, beachfront path or campus courtyard and you can usually tell when every detail has been considered. Railings, furniture, lighting and architecture all share a common language. If the outdoor showers stick out as bright blue “utilities” that do not match anything else, they break that story. A customizable outdoor shower tower fixes that.
Instead of forcing your brand to work around standard finishes, you choose colors, materials and accessories that fit the project. The tower still does the hard work of rinsing off sand and chlorine, but visually it becomes part of the space, not a bolt-on afterthought.
Outdoor showers live in highly visible places: at the edge of a resort pool, beside a hotel boardwalk, next to a marina dock or at the entrance to a public beach. Guests notice them every time they come and go, even if they only use them for a few seconds.
Standard commercial shower towers have traditionally shipped in one or two stock finishes – often a bright blue powder coat chosen for visibility. That makes sense for generic parks, but it clashes badly with a muted, high-end pool deck or a carefully branded university courtyard.
Manufacturers like Stern Williams have responded with expanded color ranges. Their outdoor shower and foot spray towers are built from heavy steel pipe with a standard blue powder coat but “optional colors and stainless steel finish available,” and a 2024 brochure notes they offer 10 powder-coated color options plus a clear chrome-style finish for shower towers and fountains.
The Fountain Direct takes advantage of that flexibility in its customizable water stations collection, highlighting that you can choose finishes and materials to match your brand – stainless steel, powder-coated steel or concrete aggregate – instead of being stuck with a single look.
Powder-coated finishes are the workhorse of customizable shower design. The coating is baked onto the metal, creating a tough skin that resists chips and fading far better than standard paint.
Stern Williams shower towers, for example, are fabricated from one-piece steel pipe with heavy-duty spray heads, timer-controlled valves and vandal-resistant access plates, then finished in a polyester powder coat in a standard Sky Blue with a menu of optional colors. Their color flyer and catalogue show a palette that includes blue, black, silver, red, green, white, tan, yellow, bronze and orange – enough range to echo most brand schemes without needing a full custom paint specification.
In practical terms, this means you can:
Match towers to your primary brand color for a bold, recognisable feature.
Use darker, neutral finishes like black or bronze to blend into high-end decks.
Choose lighter shades for playgrounds, splash pads and family beaches.
Because these colors are offered as standard options by the manufacturer, you get the aesthetic benefits of customization without the logistics and cost of a one-off finish.
Color is only one part of the story. The material underneath determines how long the tower will actually last.
For coastal or poolside projects, marine-grade 316 or 316L stainless steel is hard to beat. No Worries Showers – heavily featured in The Fountain Direct’s outdoor shower towers range – build their Bondi, Reno, Windsor and Toorak towers from 316L marine stainless specifically for corrosion resistance. Silver finishes show off the steel itself, while powder-coated black versions (such as the Windsor Black ADA and Bondi Black ADA pool showers) add a strong design statement without sacrificing durability.
Powder-coated carbon steel towers, like the Stern Williams 6400 and 6850 series, are ideal for parks, campgrounds and inland resort decks where heavy-gauge steel with a scratch-resistant powder coat can weather years of use at a lower upfront cost than full stainless.
Concrete pedestals with stainless fittings offer a different kind of customization. They can be cast in natural or tinted aggregates that blend with surrounding hardscape, while still giving you the option to add stainless arms, heads, foot sprays or even drinking fountains to the same structure. Stern Williams’ concrete-based shower and foot wash towers, sold through The Fountain Direct, are described as long-term investments for beaches, parks and campgrounds where you want that “built-in” look.
Customizable towers are not just about color. They also let you dial in the right combination of features for your site.
Stern Williams’ shower tower and fountain catalogue highlights how their products can be customised with dog bowls, leash hooks, hose bibbs, jug fillers, solar lights, pet fountains and handwash stations on the same pedestal. That means a single column at a beachfront, playground or trailhead can deliver body shower, foot rinse, pet water and drinking fountain all in one, with a coordinated finish.
From a branding point of view, The Fountain Direct’s customizable water stations page spells out additional options: branded graphics, logos, custom color schemes and tailored configurations that reflect your architecture or team colors. For campuses, stadiums and corporate HQs, that turns a practical piece of infrastructure into a statement element that reinforces identity.
On the shower side, accessories can include:
Foot sprays integrated into the base of a tower for sand and chlorine control.
Hand showers for spa decks and wellness clubs.
ADA grab bars and dual-height sprays for inclusive layouts.
Hose bibbs and wash-down connections for marinas and RV parks.
The result is a tower that is tuned to your exact mix of guests and activities rather than a generic “one-size-fits-none” fixture.
Once you know what is possible, the question becomes how to use it well.
A luxury resort might specify black or silver 316L stainless towers from the No Worries range for main pools and spa courtyards, matching the finish of railings and outdoor furniture. A separate run of powder-coated steel towers in a softer color can serve children’s splash areas or staff-only back-of-house rinse points, keeping the premium finishes where guests linger longest.
A university or college can pull campus colors into custom powder coat finishes on shower towers and fountains, using the same shades on hydration stations and rinse points along plazas and athletics facilities. The customizable water stations collection at The Fountain Direct was designed with exactly this kind of “architectural fit” in mind for campuses and public institutions.
Municipal parks departments and coastal towns often combine rugged Stern Williams towers in a standard blue or green powder coat with custom graphics or logos that identify the city or park district. That gives visitors a visual cue that these are official, maintained amenities, not ad-hoc fixtures.
Wellness clubs, boutique gyms and day spas tend to lean toward minimalist stainless or matte black finishes that disappear into carefully lit courtyards. Here, accessories like hand showers and foot rinses, matched to premium deck materials, matter as much as the core tower.
A good brief makes customization straightforward rather than overwhelming. Three questions usually get you most of the way there.
First, what is the environment? Coastal, poolside, inland park or campus will largely determine whether you prioritise marine-grade stainless, powder-coated steel or concrete. If your site can see or smell the ocean, 316L stainless is generally the safest base.
Second, what is the brand story? Pick two or three key elements – primary color, accent color, texture – that define the space. Those can be translated into powder coat choices, stainless finishes and any graphic or logo work on the pedestal.
Third, who is using the shower and what else do they need at that point? Families with kids and beach dogs? Add foot washes and pet bowls. Athletes and students? Consider drink fountains or bottle fillers alongside showers. Guests at a wellness retreat? Add hand showers and choose quieter, more refined finishes.
With those answers, it becomes much easier to sit down with product pages and a spec sheet and tick the right boxes instead of starting from a blank page.
All of this customization works best when you have a supplier that already lives in this space. The Fountain Direct specialises in hydration and rinse solutions for commercial and public environments – from indoor bottle fillers for schools to outdoor fountains and shower towers for parks, beaches and resort pools. Its mission, as stated on the site, is to “help improve your spaces with high-quality water stations built for reliability, hygiene, and performance,” using trusted American-made brands and tailored configurations.
For outdoor showers specifically, you can browse the outdoor shower towers collection to see marine-grade stainless towers in black and silver, ADA-friendly designs and mixed body/foot spray models. Then, if you want to go further with colors and accessories, the customizable water stations page outlines how finishes, materials, branding and add-ons can be tuned to your project.
Behind the catalogue is a support team used to working with architects, contractors and facility managers. They can help you match powder coat colors to your brand, choose between stainless and steel for your climate, and decide which accessories make the most sense for your guests.
If you are ready to stop treating showers as generic hardware and start treating them as part of your brand, a customizable outdoor shower tower is the natural next step. With the right combination of color, finish and accessories from The Fountain Direct, your towers can rinse away sand and chlorine while quietly reinforcing exactly who you are and how carefully your space has been designed.
